The problem with this is that Class 1 BPS and Class 3 BPS both generate
the
same amount of power. That's not right.

True. I'm willing to concede that if that's what people want.

I can see this. Do people want this much granularity. 3 Classes works
fine;
so does your proposal, but I'm trying to keep this simple.
